North Augusta High students pledge to stop texting while driving

NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. -- Students at North Augusta High School are taking a pledge to stop texting and driving.

Subway is partnering up with the South Carolina Highway Patrol to talk to students around the state about the dangers of texting behind the wheel. The program's called "W8 2 Text: Don't Abbreviate Your Life."

The students heard from a 20-year-old girl from Greenville who nearly died after texting and driving last year.

"I really feel like I got a second chance at life and it's my responsibility to warn others about the dangers of texting and driving because I survived," said Ashley Marriah, a victim seriously injured after a June 2011 wreck.
